An Avalanche of negative reaction has hit The Incline Village General Improvement District after this North Lake Tahoe, Nevada resort town voted last month to rescind health care insurance benefits to domestic partners of its employees.

According to Incline Village General Improvement District financial research, the move to take back domestic partnership benefits will only save the district about $1,500 in expenses, the estimated amount the district would pay through the end of the fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2009.

The district board will review their actions on March 11th, but whether they take action to reverse their decision is unknown.

Lez Get Real and other LGBT activists are calling for a boycott of Lake Tahoe until the district reverses this discriminatory and unnecessary position.
